Question

The Moon has almost no atmosphere, whereas the Earth has a thick atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere traps heat to make the surface temperature range narrower than it otherwise would be. The atmosphere also causes the Earth to have weather.

The Moon has a _______ surface temperature range than Earth, and thunderstorms _____ occur on the Moon.

options for the first one are:
narrower
wider

options for the second one are:
often
always
never

Answer 1

1. is wider
2. is never

Answer 2

One is wider because it is colder on the moon than earth and is harder to warm up due to it. Two is never because in order to have a thunderstorm you need to have water evaporated and condensed into cumulonimbus clouds, which cannot happen somewhere with no water.
